The Inked Therapist Podcast

About the podcast

The Inked Therapist is a somatic healing podcast exploring what it means to practice mental health care outside the mainstream wellness mold. Hosted by Del Knight, licensed psychotherapist and founder of Soma Roots Therapy, each episode brings a decolonial lens to trauma-informed care — questioning who gets centered in dominant healing narratives and who's been left out. Conversations move between somatic practice, liberation-centered frameworks, and the lived realities of queer and trans-affirming, neurodivergent-affirming care, with space for both solo reflection and guest dialogue. It's for clinicians, healers, and anyone seeking a mental health conversation that doesn't flatten identity, culture, or embodiment in the name of "wellness."

The Inked Therapist releases new episodes bi-weekly, with episodes including solo reflections and (starting in November 2026) conversations with guests — clinicians, healers, and thinkers doing liberation-centered work in their own corners of the field. You can find it wherever you listen to podcasts, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
